Lulu Brown, Luke Kavanagh, Donna Blake, Isaac Dillon, Ismail Cinar, Makae Rosengrove and John Joe Field also competed with terrific performances and were unlucky not to medal.

The final result showed that England won overall with 155 medals, Scotland came second place with 149, Wales won 6 medals and and Northern Ireland won 2.

Veras Academy Sensei Raphael Veras praised his team and admitted he couldn’t have asked them to put in any more effort.

He said: “With Karate being a contender for acceptance into the Olympics, the event was closely scrutinized by Sport England officials who ensured that the highest levels of judging and refereeing were upheld.

“The competition was a tough one and I am extremely proud of all my team, those who won medals and those who didn’t. They all tried their very best and I couldn’t ask for more.”
